Posted:2nd Jul 2005i got snails in my fish tank and one was floating around. I watched as the little bugger climbed out of his shell to release an air bubble, he sank like a stone and ran off. they is crafty

A couple of balls short of a full cascade... or maybe a few cards short of a deck... we'll see how this all fans out.

ive recently moved to a rather iut of the way part of my city and when it rains about a million of them are on the paths roads....everywhere and its not a terribly well lit area so its almost unavoidable

Posted:2nd Jul 2005one of the kids stepped on a snail by accident and bless him he spent the next about five minutes sat there trying to figure out how to put the shell back on before giving it to an adult to do.

Tell me and I forget, Show me and I remember, Involve me and I understand

I hate stepping on them as well...however I do like throwing them. Especially in Romania where my students are scared of them and are distracted from their work because they are staring at one (yes, i used to let my students work outside)...so i picked it up and threw it away. only to be told by one of my students that God would smite me. I told him God would smite him for ignoring authorty...on second thoughts, that was probably a mean thing to say to an 11 year old!

i would have changed ***** to phallus, and claire to petey Petey

Rougie: but that's what I'm doing hereArnwyn: what letting me adjust myself in your room?..don't you dare quote that on HoP...

..so thats where hes putting the heads. well i have quite a few bodies and... well... im gonna have to go and ask for those heads back. UPS works best for me.

I always get that snail thing and its so hopeless. as soon as you hear the start of the crunch you know its all over and it rains here hard alot so their always out. i hate it.i have eaten them tho and quite like the taste.

Posted:4th Jul 2005it is a strange thing. stepping on snails. i usually hop around to avoid them, making sure they don't get squished. otherwise i feel very mean. they are very interesting creatures, you know. they appear simple.. but you know, they are interesting, like most creatures infact. they are hermaphrodites, meaning they have both male and female reproductive organs, some have been known to live up to 15 years, and also cannot hear.

Posted:4th Jul 2005cooldont they sence vibratiosn with their entire foot? so they're whole body act a lil like an 'ear' (but they process it more to get better idea of whats around?) anyway i ahte stepping on them but wouldnt mind trying em

i hate it when you find worms on the pavement and they look all dried up and lonsome

Posted:4th Jul 2005whats the difference (other than you paid someone else did the dirty dead for you), and why is it more distressing, to stand on a snail or eat meat? They both involve unnessecary death.

Posted:5th Jul 2005The difference is I don't eat a snail after I tread on it, but I eat a fish if I catch it. Both can be deemed unnecessary, but (don't know if you agree with me or not) a death for no purpose whatsoever, where the body is wasted, is worse to me than one where it is not.

The optimist claims that we are living in the best of all possible worlds.The pessimist fears this is true.
